Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups pumpkin purée (canned or fresh)
• 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil (for garnish, optional)
• 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds (toasted, for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until translucent.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, or until the apples are soft and tender.
